Can stress cause bacterial vaginosis?

Stress does not cause infection - bacteria and viruses are responsible causes.However any studies have indicates that a weakened immune system from stress can increase your risk of infection. This is not significant change but it is demonstrable in medical studies.Stress can also impact your ability to overcome an infection and to stop the section while it is a minor problem. You need an immune system fired up and ready to fight. Stress and anxiety weakens the immune system so that your body has less ability to prevent or recover from an infection.


How you do know that bacteria are alive?

Bacteria are alive as: 1-they have tails and they move about here and there. 2-They have an ability to reproduce them selves. 3-They multiply very fast______ a single bacterium breaks itself into two every half hour.


Which pathways are specifically inhibited by sulfonamides?

Those diseases caused by bacterial infection/growth are inhibited by sulfonamide drugs because the drug interferes with the ability of the bacteria to reproduce. This slows down the development of the infection giving the bodies natural immune system time to develop the defenses needed to destroy the bacteria naturally.


Bacteria are the only organisms that can?

Bacteria are the only organisms that can convert nitrogen into a usable form. Diazotroph or nitrogen-fixing bacteria are types of bacteria that perform this ability.


What does not contribute to the ability of pathogenic bacteria to cause disease?

capsules

Are all bacteria singled-celled organisms?

By definition, bacteria are a large group of single-celled microorganisms, although their morphology may vary.


Is MRSA something you will have for the rest of your life?

MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus) infection can be very serious because the bacterium has the ability to adapt to most antibiotics. But, MRSA infection is treatable. After diagnosis process have finished, doctor will know what types of antibiotics are best to fight against MRSA. Answer on your question is No.


Lyme disease is a bacterial infection that is passed from ticks to humans What kind of relationship exists between the bacteria and the human?

There is no direct relationship that exists between humans and the bacteria (mostly Borrelia burgdorferi), as it is vector-transmitted infection from a pathogen (the bacterium) via a carrier (a tick) to the host (human). Once the bacterium is in the human body, the immune system should start to respond. However, a study from 2022 by Teijaro et al. found, that B cells play a crucial role in immune evasion by the bacterium. The researchers were able to demonstrate that the loss of specific B cell populations impaired the host's ability to control infection.

Why it is necessary for inflamed appendix to be removable by surgeon?

An inflamed appendix could rupture and expose the abdominal cavity to bacteria, which would lead to infection. This resulting infection has the ability to cause death.


Why are bacteria cells different from living organisms?

Bacteria are often only single celled organisms. They are indeed living, and have the ability to divide. The nucleus of the cell splits in half, and from one cell of bacteria, they will divide and you will have two bacterium etc. The speed of dividing depends on heat, light and other factors.

What is the mode of reproduction in kingdom monera?

Most prokaryotes reproduce asexually through binary fission. This is where the cell makes a duplicate of itself and one DNA molecule passes into a newly formed cell. These two cells are genetically identical. Binary fission does not allow for the bacteria to acquire genetic diversity. This diversity is needed for bacteria to withstand changing environments. Bacteria have the ability to shuffle genes through several processes. These processes include transformation, conjugation, and transduction. During transformation, the bacterium they take up fragments of DNA from the soil and water, which was dead decomposed bacterium. Conjugation is when a donor bacterium attaches itself to a recipient and transfers DNA through a tube called a pilus. The fragments of DNA are in the form of plasmids. Transduction involves transfer of DNA through a virus. This virus is known as Bacteriophage. Through these processes bacteria can gain new traits which they could not obtain through binary fission only. These traits can include the ability to withstand change in acidity, temperature and have the ability to resist antibiotics.


What does warm water and salt after a tooth pulled?

Osmotic pressure draws fluids OUT, toward the salt solution. As long as you keep pulling any possible infection that way, you'll have less chance of problems. Osmotic pressure on an infectious bacteria also weakens the bacteria's ability to reproduce and spread the infection. Salt water is a low-tech, highly effective way to control infection in a tooth extraction.


How do plasmids differ from chromosome?

A bacterial chromosome provides data that is required by the bacteria to survive and reproduce. A plasmid does not. It gives a bacterium "special" attributes in during extreme conditions, such as the ability to do genetic recombination or the resistance to certain antibiotics.
